Fun, Fun, Fun!

We made it to the International Quilt Festival and here is my quilt on display. What a treat it was for me to see it hanging for all to see. I had fun telling people it was my quilt and answering questions.

I was very surprised when I got the show catalog to see it was a "featured quilt". Not sure what that means but was great to see it pictured in the show catalog.

And here I am with Lynette Anderson. I just love her designs and she is so generous with her free patterns on her blog. She was kind enough to take a picture with me and sign a couple of her patterns. She told me to come back tomorrow and another of my favorite Australian designers would be there at her booth - Gail Pan. Oh yes....I will be going back tomorrow.

I watched about 1 1/2 hours worth of demonstrations and could have spent the afternoon watching the professional teachers/quilters demonstrate techniques new to me or new products they have designed. I plan to sit and watch more tomorrow.

One other special treat I had today was a visit to the EQ7 booth and met the gentleman who wrote the software program. He gave me a lesson in designing motifs and adding them to a quilt border. I will be playing with that tonight.

All in all it was a great day and I can not wait to go back tomorrow.
